1961 Hank Aaron and 1964 Willie Mays Authenticity

Hey yall,
Just purchased a 1961 Topps Hank Aaron 415 and what was supposed to be a PSA 5 1967 Topps Willie Mays 200 according to seller listing and the photo. Seller told me the latter did 'not come with a COA', which I took to mean the piece of paper that says Certificate Of Authenticity, but he claimed, in conversation while cards were in transit, just meant it came raw and ungraded. So... pretty shifty and lame.

Since that I had that negative interaction while the cards were in transit, I am feeling wary about them upon arrival. I have no idea how to gauge the authenticity of vintage, so I'm looking for any opinions people might have about whether they look real or counterfeited.

If you judge them real and are interested, feel free to PM me. Even if authentic, I kind of want to either get rid of these cards or trade them for Aaron/Mays cards from the same era, just to get rid of the bad taste from this transaction.
